A Happy Disposition

Today, I saw my neighbor. He looks happy while talking on the phone outside his house. Few days ago, my mother told me about the same neighbor sharing to her about their family's plan to go back to their province and live there. He is an engineer and he used to work abroad. A year ago he went back home and worked in one of the biggest casinos here in PH. Unfortanately, the industry is one of the highly affected ones from this the pandemic. He has five children who are still studying. Relocating is okay as for the studies of his children, as online classes are still ongoing. I remember the dialogues he said, according to my mother, was full of acceptance and he said it's sad but it is how it is. I'm sure it's not as easy as how he tries to show outside. His positivity is just so inspiring. I'm sure he tries to be strong for his family. I hope you stay positive and keep the faith in every little or big endeavor you're going through. Good morning from here, Mylotters.

I think so too. I was trying to imagine how sad that the children would also have to part ways with their friends but it has to be done.

I thought so too. We can't really judge decisions easily because everyone has different reasons.

It's really more upsetting to have struggles when you have children to protect. I can imagine how it breaks him and the other people who had been going through the same thing but they are so inspiring from trying to be brave in facing the problem.

He knows what's best for him and his family. His heart might break now, but he'll feel better when he sees his family can live well during this period thanks to him.

Dwelling on the bad and letting it bring you down, won't help you accomplish anything. So, some people choose to stay positive and not let the struggles of the world bring them down.
